Just wondering is it the same turnaround time (14 days) if an accountant lodges your tax return?

TIA

Hi,

If you are talking about the time it takes from lodgement to getting your refund than yes it still usually takes around 14 days to receive it. It sometimes can be around 10 days. I have found though that if you get the refund directly deposited into your bank account rather than getting a cheque, you will get it after about a week.

Cheers,

Georgina
